Two Hood Types

There are a lot of extractor hoods, which can be categorized by shape, type of filtration, extraction method and more.

Nonetheless, ASHRAE (Acronym for “American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers“) has simply divided hoods into two categories.

Two types, to be precise.

Type I hoods are those designed to extract fumes, grease and odours produced by cooking equipment. Practically the vast majority of hoods on the market.

Type II hoods are those used to extract vapours, heat and humidity. It goes without saying that they are structurally much simpler (but no less important in the kitchen, mind you!): by sucking in vapours free of organic components, these hoods do not have a filter battery. They are normally positioned above dishwashers or industrial washing machines.

So, the point is that the cubic hoods produced by Aluminox, thanks to the front air blade extraction, guarantee maximum effectiveness for “Type II hood” job.
